RIP haverst, you will be missed.

I already bought the biggest supporter pack this year, now I'm just waiting my key.

Ngl, I liked the Thaumaturge of the Vaal Supporter a lot. If I had the money I probably would have bought it.

I generally don't play early access games, but this one I have to get. One simple reason, if I wait a few years, by then they'll add a bunch of retarded shit to appease streamers and autists and the game will turn into the same mess that PoE1 became. Immediately at launch is should me more tame, and more enjoyable to play.

Same here, POE1 was the best from around 2011 to 2018

- I like that specific rewards are tied to specific content. I feel like POE1 always intended to be like that but they always added new mechanics that just shat everything either way. So you never actually felt like you needed to play specific content for specific rewards.

A strength of POE 1 is that you get to decide what content you want to do and you can ignore the content you don't like doing. Forcing people to do content they don't like for specific rewards is poor design and unsustainable, cause some league mechanics genuinely is unplayable for some builds.

Not the current version of PoE. Endgame is based around autists using broken builds with best items. It does not care how you want to play. For example if you are not using Cluster Jewels your build is 20% weaker. And endgame is designed around people using them.

I agree, PoE2 will have at best 2 years of being good game and then it will go to shit like PoE1 did.

Real talk, I honestly hate POE1.

It's got very bad access for casuals because of how overly complex it is and tedious and boring spreadsheet simulator autism game.

graphics look shit, animations shit, ZOOMY too fast pixels all over the screen.

POE2 seems to fix alot of that.

Basically waht I want is a mix between D4 and POE2, not too complex, not too casual. perfection. I'm hyped for POE2 tbh.

POE2 looks to have better animations, but I am not seeing how it is less complex than POE1. If anything it is more complex and ZOOMY too fast pixels all over the screen will probably still happen in endgame.
